Lucky Him was found abandoned 2010 at Blakeney, Norfolk and sadly could not be found a home even for free so was eventually broken up, many parts recycled into other boats so still lives on!

Caractacus was the first 12 I built, from an Impact Boats kit, eight weeks evenings/weekends from start to finish in 1972. Successful boat, won several opens in 1973 as well as Midland Area Armada Trophy that year. Sold to Broxbourne 1975.

Thunderbird N856 was bought from a member of Oundle Boat Club in 1966 transferred to Middle Nene in 1969 and sold to another MN member 1970 after redecking, always leaked a bit.

I owned Sparklet from 1970 to 1972 sailing at Middle Nene, then it was sold to Ulley S C. 2013 was exhibited at the Earls Court boat show in 1962 on Landamores stand in the days when N12s weighed 225lbs. She was redecked and internal side seats cut down and correctors removed in 1971 getting the hull down to 207lbs, where is she now?
